Liverpool are experienced enough to get the win in this game, even with the number of injuries they have. The Reds beat Chelsea in the last two cup finals at Wembley, and they will want to win this trophy in the final season of Jürgen Klopp with the team. Liverpool are in great form right now, winning five of their last six games, while Chelsea have only two wins in their last six matches.
The best EFL Cup odds have Liverpool as clear favorites in this matchup for a reason. They have the best offense in the league this season by far, and they have much more experience in final games in the last few years. Those who are aiming for a safer option can back the Reds for lifting the trophy after all, which has the odds of 1.65 (4/6).

Liverpool have gone over the total in six consecutive matches in all competitions, averaging five goals per game. They have a very attacking style of football and have a lot of goal-feast games, while Chelsea have improved offensively lately as well. The Blues have scored at least one goal in seven of their last eight matches, so they always find ways to score. Of course, that is a final game, and both sides will be playing safely not to concede, first of all, but a single goal can turn things into a goal-scoring fest.

Luis Diaz has stepped up for Liverpool in the last few games, especially in scoring goals, as he has scored four goals in his last six starts for the Reds. Diaz scored in both head-to-head games against Chelsea this season in the Premier League, so he will try to do the same in this match. The Blues have conceded 11 goals in their last five games and aren’t in good form defensively, and Luis should get a lot of scoring chances in this final.
The Reds are in much better form this season in all competitions, so they will have good chances of winning the title. Make sure you use our 2024 Chelsea vs Liverpool betting predictions and bet them at the bookies in the United Kingdom to have more fun watching the game.
